BTP futures traded to a fresh cycle low last week as the contract extended the reversal from 111.17, the Oct 12 high. Price has pierced key support at 107.62, the Oct 4 low. A clear break of this level would confirm a resumption of the long-term downtrend and open 107.08, a Fibonacci projection. 111.17 marks the key resistance. Clearance of this level is required to highlight a possible short-term reversal. For now, gains are considered corrective.

USDJPY remains in consolidation mode and continues to trade just below its recent trend highs. The trend outlook is bullish and moving average studies continue to highlight positive market sentiment. Attention is on the 150.00 handle and the recent 150.16 high (Oct 3). A clear break of 150.00 would reinforce bullish conditions and open 150.40, a Fibonacci projection. Key support to watch is 147.43, the Oct 3 low.
